I'd like "ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=1&page=1" (Board=1) displayed as the first thing visitors encounter on ubbthreads instead of listing categories and forums. This way visitors can immediately see all the topics on that forum and post a topic faster, rather than selecting a desired forum from a category. I need to give unregistered visitors the ability to post threads and posts ASAP.

I've been scratching my head on this one for hours, it should be simple but, there are no .htaccess (if there is, my hosting provider prohibits it).

I doubt chmods are the issue here; i've never personally used that code, you might read in the thread to see if anyone had any similar issues.

I've returned (had other priorities). Forum's dead in the water until this can be solved! Here is the general concept that's been done on other UBB powered forum websites that I am very much hoping to accomplish...

Sorry, that part's not currently important. I'd like to get the landing page to display a forum with it already opened. If you'd like to see a website that's done this... It's called Godlikeproductions or another called LunaticOutpost. That site has used a much older version of UBB threads but, that shouldn't matter. Thank you for your help, I wasn't expecting such quick responses...

Not to sidetrack from what you've requested, but those two sites are both using "MyBB" ( http://www.mybb.com/ ) UBB.threads is a different software.

Oh... I was so sure Godlike used UBB.threads (than heavily modified it since the late 90's). Oh well, I tried MyBB and it didn't have all the core features I wanted. UBB is the best IMO..

Already committed to learning UBB.threads, no matter how much time it takes, I'd like to learn from it. Though, it can be pretty intimidating... like figuring out how to do what they did and improve upon it. I look at the UBB.threads templates, and it's the SQL code that tends to get me sidetracked. So I've been checking W3Schools and CodeAcademy...

Newbie here, nice to meet you all *wave*. So far I think I've come a long way, my site is Aliendisc... It's been sort of a dream that's undergone many different concepts for the past 8 years and this is just the one I'm going to stick to...

I'm getting ready to head out of town, but it struck me while I was finishing my packing; instead of over-complicating things and trying to look at how to modify the UBB for this request, why not just set the index.php file to do either a html or php redirect to the location that you want default?

Will see you all on Friday when I get back from camping out on the coast (little to no signal in the middle of the forest that is the Oregon Coast).

This is Oregon, not Iowa; though there are plenty of cows in Tillamook... lol

I think somehow that is the way to go... I guess the portal area just needs to somehow show forum ID 1 for example. I tried Gizmo's idea, it works if it's temporary because, there is a redirect delay. That'd look very amateur in the long run haha... Also, can't go into the Forum List or it'd redirect again to the chosen forum.

"Breadcrumb" The graphical control element Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trail is a navigation aid used in user interfaces. It allows users to keep track of their locations within programs or documents. The term comes from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the eponymous fairytale.

I'm sure that Brooks offers some sort of option for customizations, but members like myself do it as well; if you want an immediate turn around, shoot me a message and we can talk about what all you need done.

Oh! You were fast replying and I ended up deleting my post before I realized it, sorry... I thought maybe I should think about asking to pay for assistance but, if you're willing to talk about it, that's great.
